About the Media & Visual Arts Academy
The Media & Visual Arts Academy proudly offers three dynamic Programs of Study: Television & Radio, Commercial & Advertising Art, and Interactive Media. Through a combination of creative exploration, technical instruction, and hands-on learning, students develop the skills and experience needed to turn their interests into future opportunities.
During Freshman and Sophomore years, students begin building a strong foundation in their chosen Program of Study through one dedicated class period each day. They are introduced to industry tools, techniques, and creative processes while developing the technical and artistic skills essential to their field.
In Junior and Senior years, students advance into an intensive two-year course sequence, dedicating two class periods each day to their Program of Study. Working in collaborative, studio-based environments, students take on increasingly sophisticated projects that challenge them to create, problem-solve, innovate, and refine their individual creative voice. Along the way, they build professional-quality portfolios and gain experience using the technologies, practices, and workflows found in today’s media and visual arts industries.
By Senior year, students are prepared to extend their learning beyond the classroom. Through internships, part-time employment, independent projects, and college-level coursework, they have opportunities to apply their knowledge in authentic professional and academic settings. With a strong foundation in both theoretical concepts and technical skills, graduates of the Media & Visual Arts Academy leave prepared to pursue college, careers, and continued creative growth in their chosen fields.
